I knew about the vacuum cleaner companies.

What I have noticed that all the US products made by Hoover are now
available in the UK only that there have the Vax name on it.

Example is the Hoover wind tunnel and the Vax Oasis carpet washer
which where only available in US under the Hoover name.

All evidence of a global manufacturing and supply chain. Something that
British Industry failed to exploit when we had a manufacturing industry
("What make something for 110 volts!!")

What is a brand nowadays? My Asda £3.00 kettle has the same element as the
Russell Hobbs branded on which preceded it. Places like Comet get British
sounding names put on things (Bush, etc) to make us thing we are buying a
British Brand.
